Investment concepts, explained

Explore the principles that can inform a considered investment strategy.

Active investment strategies

Active investing involves selecting and managing investments with the aim of outperforming a market benchmark. It can draw on research, judgement and ongoing portfolio monitoring.

Passive investment strategies

Passive investing seeks to track a market or index, often through diversified funds. The approach focuses on broad exposure, consistency and managing costs over time.

Efficient market theory

Efficient market theory explores the idea that market prices reflect available information. It provides a useful framework for considering the role of research, diversification and expectations.

Fundamental analysis

Fundamental analysis assesses the underlying financial health and prospects of an investment, including earnings, cash flow, valuation, industry conditions and management.

Technical analysis

Technical analysis studies price movements, trading patterns and market trends. Some investors use it as one input when considering timing, momentum and market sentiment.

Portfolio construction

Portfolio construction brings investments together in a way that reflects your goals, time horizon, risk tolerance and need for diversification. It is about how the pieces work together, not simply which investments are chosen.

The power of compounding

Compounding is the potential for investment returns to generate further returns over time. Starting early, staying invested and reinvesting can make a meaningful difference across long-term horizons.

Timing the market

Market timing aims to move in and out of investments based on expected market movements. It can be difficult to execute consistently, particularly when decisions are influenced by short-term uncertainty.

Time in the market

Time in the market focuses on maintaining a long-term investment horizon. Remaining invested through different market conditions can help investors participate in the potential benefits of long-term growth.

Contrarian thinking

Contrarian thinking considers opportunities that may be overlooked when market sentiment is strongly positive or negative. It requires discipline, independent research and a clear understanding of risk.

Stock selection

Stock selection is the process of assessing individual companies and their potential role within a diversified portfolio. It may consider business quality, valuation, financial strength and long-term prospects.
